History
Although San Marino is not a major rugby playing nation, it is surrounded by Italy which is one of the players in the Six Nations.
Aside from the national team, there is one major club, the Rugby Club San Marino.[2] Unlike some microstates which have had to contend with lack of facilities, San Marino's main problem is one of population.

gollark: It's interesting to actually look at the ethics and underlying causes and whatever instead of just "no discussing this"? We have a cool and rare thing here and it might not be portable to other places.
gollark: Well, you might have, but we don't seem to have had particularly in-depth discussions of possibilities, and one person looking over it isn't great.
gollark: This is obviously just heav trying to speak gollariously, ignore it.
gollark: > Isolating that elsewhere is also not good for various reasons I indicated before.
